“It’s a mystery at this point if Cameron’s intentions are what she presents them to be. I donâ€™t even really know what’s going on with Cameron. I do know that maybe she has a mysterious past. And it’s unclear what she ends up being in the future. But at this point, I think that all three of us, as far as what I know from the script, we are all fighting for the same goal, but that might turn out to be sort of a front. Cameron might have come back from the past for a different purpose.”

Here’s my total shot in the dark about Cameron. She’s the first Terminator who actually has a name. Arnold’s character was just The Terminator, Robert Patrick’s was T-1000, and Kristanna Loken’s was T-X. This, plus a couple comments Cameron has made, make me think she was once human. She might have been close, very close, to future-John and after being killed, a Terminator was made in her likeness and possibly some of her memories uploaded to it. SciFiChick has been following the Sara Connor Chronicles and has offered an interview with Summer Glau and photos from her set tour. I’m still holding out hope that Michael Biehn will make a cameo somehow.

UPDATE: The pursuing Terminator in SCC actually does have a name, Cromartie, but this seems more like a designation used as part of his initial fake identity as substitute teacher “Mr. Cromartie.” His actual model number is T-888. Kevin Kelley elaborates today at io9.

I’m blogging today over at Writers At Play, where I’ve debuted a new column: Damsels Not In Distress. This column will highlight strong female characters in all types of Romance, not just in Science Fiction and Paranormal as I profile for Danger Gal Friday.
